|
My dad came into my room holding his hat |
|
I knew he was leaving |
|
He sat on my bed told me some facts |
|
Son, I have the duty, calling on me |
|
You and your sister be brave my little soldier |
|
And don't forget all I told ya |
|
You're the mister of the house now remember this |
|
And when you wake up in the morning give yer momma a kiss |
|
Then I had to say goodbye |
|
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid |
|
Even though I'm only a kid |
|
Certain things can't be hid |
|
Momma grabbed me |
|
Held me like I was made of gold |
|
But left her inner stories untold |
|
I said, momma it will be alright |
|
When daddy comes home, tonight |
|
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber |
|
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether you're soar-away Sun or BBC1 |
|
Information is a weapon of mass destruct |
|
You're called Caucasian or a poor Asian |
|
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether inflation or globalization |
|
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone |
|
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
We need to find the courage, overcome |
|
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
The skin under my chin is exploding again |
|
I'm getting stress from some other children |
|
I'm holding it in |
|
We taking sides like a politician |
|
And if I get friction we get to fighting |
|
I defend my dad he's the best of all men |
|
And whatever he's doing he's doing the right thing |
|
It's frightening, but it makes me mad |
|
Why do all of these people seem to hate my dad? |
|
And if that ain't enough now I get these spots |
|
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots |
|
And what's more, I can hear momma next door |
|
Explore the radio for reports of war |
|
And all we ever seem to do is hide the tears |
|
Seems like daddy been gone for years |
|
But he was right, now I'm geared up for the fight |
|
And he would be proud of me |
|
My daddy came home tonight |
|
Listen real keenly |
|
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber |
|
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether you're soar-away Sun or BBC1 |
|
Information is a weapon of mass destruct |
|
You're called Caucasian or a poor Asian |
|
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether inflation or globalization |
|
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone |
|
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
We need to find the courage, overcome |
|
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction |
|
My story stops here, lets be clear |
|
This scenario is happening everywhere |
|
And you ain't going to nirvana or far-vana |
|
You're coming right back here to live out your karma |
|
With even more drama than previously, seriously |
|
Just how many centuries have we been waiting for someone else to make us free? |
|
And we refuse to see |
|
That people overseas suffer just like we |
|
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free |
|
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead |
|
I don't need good people to pray and wait |
|
For the lord to make it all straight |
|
There's only now, do it right |
|
'Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight |
